What's up with 2012?

Every other page there's a post of 2012. Too many people are worried about the end of the world, and not what they should be concerned about. Might I ask what brought this silly myth about anyway's?

The Mayan calendar ends, the magnetic poles shift,...

galactic eclipse, alignment of the planets, solar storm, Nostradamus. Might I ask if anyone who claims these are signs of then end of the world, of you had done any research at all?

Nostradamus did not have a prediction of 2012 being the end of the world, those who do are leading you astray. Many scholars who've read Nostradamus believe that his end of the world prophecy is the sun will engulf the planet. Basically, when the sun starts to die and expands, which isn't, at the least, for another few thousands of years.

Solar storms, they are practically harmless. What a solar storm is, the sun emits a burst of solar energy. It doesn't really do anything other than overload power chords, the electric systems and cause a black out. Scientist are already looking for a way to prevent it. The best thing is just to turn off the power before hand. How will we know? They're looking for that, too, and have almost found a solution.

The super volcano can erupt at any time now. Monitors have been placed around the volcano in yellow stone park. We should know approximately up to 10 days before it erupts. It will be a mass disaster, yes, but it has happened before and we're still alive now, aren't we.

As for the galactic eclipse. There's superstitions flying about that each galactic eclipse( when the sun appears to be at the center of universe from the view point of the earth) that some catastrophic event happens. Again, though catastrophic, we're still alive and it was never the end of the world.

The planets will align, zipidy-doo-da, grab a telescope and enjoy.

The magnetic poles will shift. They're probably shifting as we speak. I doubt it's something that happens in a blink of an eye, though scientist are still skeptical about that. But again, it's happened before, the planet is still here, it hasn't ended.

Planet X
Planet X orbits close to Earth every 3,600 years. Nothing new.
Now here's something to think about if you want to. Anthropologist have determined that the 3 crucial early phases of human evolution-farming, rudimentary culture, civilization- happened during 3,600 year intervals.

And now for the Mayan calendar. The Mayan's long count calendar will end. So? What does that have to do with the end of the world? Once the calendar ends it starts over again. As for their supposed prophets of doom on this date, show me. The Mayans have prophesied beyond the date of 2012, and(get this) they DO NOT have any prophesies of impending doom.

Besides, if 2012 is the end of the world, would you really want to know? Think of it here
END OF WORLD, meaning you wont survive. You'll survive a catastrophic event, but not the end of the world. If it were to be the end, which I highly doubt, why not enjoy it rather than worry about it.

However, if you feel the need to worry
Worry about how to get through this recession
Worry about what the government is doing with our tax money
Worry about the war
Worry about ways to stop global warming
Worry about illness
Worry about those less fortunate than you
But DO NOT worry about 2012 being the end of the world.

PS: If you feel the need to post a question about 2012, PLEASE DON'T
Because frankly, I'm sick of seeing it, EVERYONE whose been here for a over a month is sick of seeing it I'm sure. There's a question on every page almost. So instead of asking what's already been repeatedly asked, PLEASE go back and LOOK.

It's a rumour that's been going around for years -_-''

I don't mean to sound nasty or anything but It's a little bit annoying posting questions like this aswell - because your basically going on about it too.

Ditto the first answer and the Sony movie they're doing...won't help things

It doesn't bug me, I like to tell people my opinion!

I personally think it's ridiculous. Who cares if the world ends in 2012? Live your lives, don't worry about what could happen. Heck, a lot of things COULD happen that can end the world at any time. People need to stop with the hysteria, and I'm going to be in I told you so mode when we're alive on the thirteenth.

NO BODY KNOWS WHEN THE WORLD IS ENDING NOT EVEN JESUS ONLY GOD KNOWS. EVERYBODY IS GOING TO DIE ANYWAYS.

Did you not read my question ciara17?
chuchulovely, just answering any questions of 2012 is going on about it
might as well just post something that people can refer to when they have that erge to ask

who care?

LOL! this was ridiculously funny to read. you also forgot to mention that of course the calendar ended... because they died. :p
it's true though. many people are freaking out about it. including my father. but now he's saying something about the world ending in 2060. I wonder what that's about... something about a third prophet??? do you happen to know anything on that???
